The Federal Government says it will commence the Payment of Pension benefits to retired war-affected police officers and their next-of-kin.
A statement by the management of Pension Transitional Arrangement Directorate (PTAD) in Abuja on Wednesday indicated that President Muhammadu Buhari has given approval for the payment of pension entitlements to the affected officers and their next-of-kin.
Some members of the Armed Forces, Nigeria Police Force (NPF) and some paramilitary officers that took part with the secessionist group (Biafra) in the 1967 civil (Biafran) war were earlier dismissed from the service after the war.
